WHEN CHILDREN PLAY

WHEN CHILDREN PLAY


When children play the heart is light
The whole world swells with pure delight
God smiles upon us, dries the tear
And wipes away all trace of fear
As Joy with the soul ignites.

The toys upon the floor appear
To make all sadness disappear.
It's children's glee we must invite,
When children play.

It may at times seem a bit trite,
But it is more than, "Be polite."
It must remain perfectly clear
That children oft are filled with cheer ...
So could we be, if we held tight ...
When children play.
